Help me plan/budget for my dad and uncle's Vic Falls trip

I am the person who posted about who had seen Vic Falls, Great Zim, lion, elephant etc. I now want to plan a trip for my dad to Vic Falls, because he has never been. He is 75, still active (farmer, former Fire Brigade chief Harare etc) but obviously slower. He would be going with his younger adventurous brother. Please don't ask me, but they are a match made in heaven somehow. I could not send him on a trip with anyone else. Their energy matches and they will be totally fine on their own.

So i need an itinerary and a budget for these two charlatans. Friday through Monday (any weekend). Flying to and fro Harare. Tell me everything I need to make these charlatans enjoy their stay and how much it will cost me. Between now and end of June.

As a Zimbo, which of these have you actually seen in person? Vic Falls, Great Zimbabwe, a lion, an elephant.

I honestly think more than 50% of the population has not seen any of these things.

Need help with picking what to wear to sister's graduation.

I am not big on outings and stuff, but my sister is graduating from Hopkins and I want to take a moment to show up properly. There are two ceremonies, the departmental one on Tuesday and commencement on Thursday. What is best for each? I am going shopping tomorrow, I am a black guy, 38, 6"0 220. I am on the fat side, not fat, but on the fat side as opposed to ripped.

Also planning on getting a facial. Do i get that before or after a haircut?

Advice on resolving dispute with a popular solar installer company in Zim

I am not in Zim, but i had one of these more popular on social media solar companies install solar at my house in Harare. The contract was for the premium version Deye 6.2kV inverter (there are multiple options at this level), that is what we agreed on. I paid them half down. They installed their stuff, only for my brother to later discover that they had installed a 5kv inverter. They had changed the sticker on the outside to say 6.2, but when you run the software and it tells the truth. They said it was a "mistake". Should i pay them the rest of the money? Its been a month now, and the date is coming up. They are saying they will discount $50 on the balance, which is absurd, that is not at all the price difference. The alternative is that they said they will come and take their equipment and give me back my money that i had paid. But that is super inconvenient to me. I feel there is a breach of contract on their part.

What should i demand/ask of them, and how best do you think this should be resolved? Because they clearly lied, i have the docs of what we agreed to. There is no way i am taking a $50 discount on 6.2 vs 5 kv inverter.

It's been a good past few days

Joined a sprint, earlier in the week, 3 days, bonuses, multipliers, a bunch of other stuff. Can't complain. Looking forward to the next week, which will be its last, as originally planned.

When I read threads here, most of the rates I here are sub $50. I was exploring roles today and for me the lowest generalist is 80 and goes up to 200. And that is for generalist, nothing more specific, just generalist. Is that what everyone sees? Did they increase for everyone? Or it is a sliding scale on an individual basis?

I honestly don't know what is funnier, this Madzibaba Ngoni's claims or Ollah believing his fellow mpostori.

Please do not lecture me on why or why I should not get a bank account in Zim. I am getting one, simple as that. I just need to know the best banks. Thank you.
